That much suspense!!!! I’m glad you enjoyed dude! Hehe

Thank you!

Thanks man! Today was a good day that’s got sure!

Thanks dude! Gonna be interesting seeing what else is wrong with it under full use.

Thanks! 👍

So you guys should do a video on the oil timing chain tensioner. That little booger bugs the heck out of me. when they get weak I wonder what would happen putting a TIG weld bead across the tip of it to extend it just a bit?. Maybe I don't fully understand the system but seems like they could have done something better.

Great point!

Thanks! 😁

Thank you!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks 👍

Not yet, but im sure they will need to be done soon. We'll get it registred and do a list of things we need to fix up over the coming months.

ha, awesome to hear!!! Definitely like the 4.6is. I used to have a LCI 4.4 with the N62 but this 4.6 does feel more special.

Indeed!

Thanks for watching

@@ZeroTo60Tube I live locally and really enjoy seeing the local roads lol. Love the vids, watching the M5 first drive now

Thanks dude. Really appreciate all your comments. We do notice them all!

Thank you sir!

Thanks for the tip!!! That’s a great idea. I do want to look in to external trans coolers. You don’t know if any kits do you?

@@ZeroTo60Tube 88c tstat which I believe is from the 740d which may be more expensive for us in the US. This will leave a DME for the internal tstat sensor no longer being used, but will not make the CEL light up. www.ecstuning.com/b-vemo-parts/thermostat-with-gasket-88c/11512248542~vmo/ xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e53-forum/102079-x5-4-6is-5hp24-external-transmission-cooler-my-solution.html

Hahah, very kind sir!!! I’m always nervous till we know it’s worked.

They are pretty wicked cars and cheap at the moment.

When we were having a play with INPA trying to see if it was an electrical fault, i did see an option to reset adaptations, but didnt see if i could read them. Im sure there is tho. I planned to reset adaptations, but it drive so well as is, i may not bother.

haha, well we'll see.

hehe, please forgive me, i couldn't resist.

Not yet, will get inpa on it and check temps under normal driving conditions. But i think im still gonna run and external cooler. We are a pretty hot climate here, so we get away with out running the thermostats.

Thanks dude. Feel pretty lucky.

@@ZeroTo60Tube More so patience and persistence and an ounce of brains. So time to.... SEND IT! Haha. 0-60 will do? And then I watched the rest.

Its a penrite oil, however the name is Multi ATF, which sounds concerning. It meets the specifications for the ZF5 so it should be sweet. Penrite are generally pretty good with oil guides. I actually use the Penrite BMV in my ZF6 and its been running strong at my power levels.

There were a few things broken and warn from memory. I have done a few gearboxes since this one, however full playlist on the entire fault diagnosis and repair if you want to learn more about this case. kzfaq.info/sun/PL0EMNJD2Ijw47JbuMRPZuaE71cCVTbCyJ

Ohhhhh how do you find out the build number? Can you tell from the vin.

thanks man!!

Haha yes!!!!!

No no, used a Penrith product which meets all the required specifications. We’ll see how it lasts.

I did not flush the heat exchanger, oil did run out of the lines as the exchanger sits higher than the lines when you drop the the trans. Still need to flush the system, now it seems to be working well. There wont be much if anything left in the heat exchanger, they are very small compared to a proper trans cooler. There was still old oil in the torque converter so do need to do the flush asap.

The drivers side was and is still broken, so we try not to move it before the mechanism completely fails

Yes defs a good idea. I went with the 20l of oil with the intention of doing another trans flush pretty soon. But for the small cost of the filter might as well change that out as well.

@@ZeroTo60Tube especially considering how much metal paste was in the trans when you pulled the pan. Give it the best chance of surviving so you can attempt a rebuild later down the track

Is there any other way?

Well done fixed the unfixable had me going with thumbnail though 🤣🤣👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

hehe, sorry about the thumbnail, had to keep you guys on your toes.
